Seeking:

PHP / mySQL / jack of all trades programmer who:

1) Codes to the utmost standards of proper PHP and other coding guidelines

2) Has a high speed connection to the internet.

3) Is available online by AIM or Yahoo or MSN often.

4) Speaks fluent english and lives in the United States.

5) Has a minimum of 2 hours per day (on average) to dedicate to our projects.

6) Does not have any issues with school, family, dogs, cars, traffic, or other things getting in the way of their availability... which may result in them disappearing for days on end. :)

7) Won't ever be nearly 4 weeks late on delivering a project. Doesn't cop an attitude and tell employers to "stop nagging" when 4 weeks late delivering. Doesn't demand "me time" just because its a Saturday - even though he or she is 4 weeks late delivering. :)

8) Has integrity and can be trusted to complete all work even if he "isn't in the mood". :)

9) Will be committed to providing accurate scoping and delivering projects on time (with reasonable margin for error).

I got pretty specific, so you can probably guess I've had some specific issues like these lately!

The site is an online community of about 500 pages, a phpbb disucssion forum, an OSCommerce store, and several little custom sections of the site which we've added over the years (newsletter module, order pages, banner stuff, etc). A site like this has a lot of fun, interesting projects, but most are between 5 and 20 hours (not huge). Really need someone who I can rely on, and who can be available to fix stuff or create stuff (1 to 2 hour jobs) within 24 hours of being made aware of them. I'd call it a "webmaster" position but I do most of the webmastering. This will relate more to PHP and SQL stuff. Everything I can't do.

There are larger projects available if you think you can handle it and you work *fast*. 20 to 40 hour projects are always needed to get done, so if you can do it, please mention that.

I would prefer that you not reply in this thread, but just email me at public@hairlosstalk.com with your contact information and any comments.

Thanks much!

I would like to offer myself for this position.
My name is Yuriy Horobey, I am web developer for last 5 years with more than 7 years of general software development.

Yes, I am interested in those small projects, providing they will come in less or more stable without any huge pauses.

I am serious, senior web developer with experience of managing small and middle teams of developers located all around the world SO -- do always deliver on time.
Well, yes, with that reasonable margin for error, but having this experience with commercial web development I'd like to say that I have enough skills to estimate projects very accurately so I do errors very seldom.

Eh.. I'm 30 years old guy, so my student's years are far in the past.
That simply means that I have no 'issues with parents, school' etc.
Living in Ukraine (try to find it the map (hint: Black Sea)) I just can't afford to have such 'issues'.
Folks down here who are like me lucky to work for US/EU customers are always 'in mood' and when we see that, we have made an error with time estimation and the deadline is in few days and there is still a lot to do --- then we don't have any 'me time' or weekend or so -- working week around, evening, and no problem with families, because they understand that either we deliver on time or we are fired.
Yeps, that simple.
We have to be on top, have to be willing to learn new technologies, have to speak good English, have to deliver on time, have to be competitive on service quality,
because there are those nice cheap guys willing to work for food :)

Sorry for too long message, it just came out of my soul.
I hope I sound as serious, reliable person and in turn you are serious and reliable project/employment provider, so if you are interested -- please respond.
Here is my contacts:

Kind regards,
Yuriy Horobey
